Embedded Ruby

I know when we want to embed ruby code, we use a file with the extension: *.html.erb

My question is: Is "Embedded Ruby" a kind of interpreter?

Thanks.

No. Embedding Ruby in a .html.erb file in just tells Rails to use the ERB templating library.

It's still processed by the standard Ruby interpreter.

See the docs for more info:
